I thought White-Davis deserved the win overall. The first Russia pair had the most dazzling long form today, though.

They had the most impressive lifts -- but they didn't touch Davis/White in terms of both intricacy of their footwork and the speed of which they pulled it off. Like the commentors said, they (the Russians) had more distance between them than the other pairs throughout much of the program, which makes it easier when you're doing those synchronized footwork dance moves.

That was referring to the second Russian pair, and I agree with that. It was the first pair, who I don't think were the top Russia pair.

I don;t think sending an "All-star" team would be bad. Nothing gets more people interested than when your country wins on a grand stage. Putting together what should be a better team would have zero effect on the communal nature of amatuer and club curling.
